MARTINEZ — A 58-year-old Blackhawk woman who stole more than $400,000 from a Catholic church was sentenced Thursday morning to 300 days in jail and three years of probation after she pleaded no contest to five counts of grand theft by way of embezzlement.

Kathleen Dake also admitted to an enhancement that she took more than $150,000 from St. Isidore’s Church in Danville.

Dake, who was the church’s full-time paid bookkeeper from 2002-10, also was ordered to pay back the $425,000 she took from St. Isidore’s during a five-year period using a church-issued credit card and checks.

The money was used to make payments to a Blackhawk plastic surgeon, Bloomingdale’s, a veterinarian, auto repairs on a Porsche and other items unrelated to church business, prosecutor Steve Bolen said.

Dake was one of three people arrested May 2 by Danville police in connection with the misuse of nearly $600,000 in church funds. Church officials noticed financial irregularities in May 2010. Dake was fired in September, a month after the irregularities were reported to Danville police.

Virgilio Lukban, of Danville, the church’s former full-time facilities manager, has pleaded not guilty to five counts of embezzlement. He will return to court Aug. 25.

Longtime church volunteer Evelyn Peinado, of Alamo, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of embezzlement.

Her next court date is scheduled for Sept. 22.

Dake, who has been in jail since her May 2 arrest, was present at Thursday’s hearing. She did not make any statements.

Joe Motta, her attorney, declined to comment.

Dake has 101 days of credit for time served in jail. If she violates her probation, she could be sentenced to five years and eight months in prison.

The church has since made changes in how bookkeeping is done, creating a clear separation in accounting and banking duties.
